The oik-blocks plugin delivers WordPress blocks, also known as Gutenberg blocks, for oik shortcodes.
oik-blocks v1.2.0 delivers 6 blocks.
oik delivers over 80 shortcodes. Some of these are crying out to be converted into advanced WordPress blocks.
Herb Miller, January 2018
oik-blocks provides a range of blocks to replace or enhance shortcodes.
- Block icon – oik-block/blockicon
Displays a Block icon - Block info – oik-block/blockinfo
Display a Block’s information - Block list – oik-block/blocklist
Displays a list of Blocks for a chosen prefix - Fields – oik-block/fields

Nivo slider - Person – oik-block/person

The blocks are primarily implemented using existing logic from oik shortcodes. Use these blocks when creating new content with the WordPress block editor.
Dependency on other plugins
Some blocks are dependent on server logic provided by additional plugins. These blocks will produce a message if the server logic is not available.
Visit the Blocks tab for a list of the documented blocks.
